These easy blue chocolate chip cookies are made with white cake mix, white chocolate chips and blue food coloring.

They’re soft, chewy and simple enough to make when you need a colorful dessert without decorating individual cookies.

Serve this cookie recipe for a Percy Jackson party, a blue-themed birthday, a baby shower or a school color celebration.

Gel food coloring produces the brightest shade without thinning the cookie dough, and you can adjust the amount to create anything from pale blue to a deeper royal blue.

• Easy cake mix shortcut: Using boxed cake mix keeps the ingredient list short and makes the dough quick to prepare.
• Ready in minutes: These cookies require only about 5 minutes of prep before baking.
• Soft and chewy: The cookies have lightly crisp edges with soft, chewy centers.
• Great for themed parties: Their bright color makes them perfect for Percy Jackson parties, baby showers, birthdays and school celebrations.

• Start by combining the cake mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
• Add blue food coloring until you achieve your desired shade, then fold in white chocolate chips for sweetness.
• Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and bake until golden around the edges.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

• This recipe uses a boxed cake mix as the base, which is what makes it so quick to pull together — no measuring out flour, baking soda, or salt separately.
• If you’re a fan of easy cake-mix desserts, this method works well for other fun colors too (just swap the food coloring).
• Some cake mixes have a yellow undertone that can pull your blue toward green or teal. If that happens, add a touch of purple gel coloring along with the blue to counteract it.
• Use gel, not liquid — it gives a more saturated color without thinning the dough.
• The color deepens slightly as the cookies bake, so stop just shy of your target shade.
